Beef Noodle Shepherd's Pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for cool evenings. It's a twist on the classic Shepherd's Pie, using macaroni and ground beef instead of traditional lamb or beef stew. The mashed potatoes on top add a creamy and satisfying element to the dish, while the paprika adds a touch of smokiness and color. This dish is sure to become a family-favorite!

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Drain the excess fat.
3.	In a large bowl, mix together the hot water and beef with onion soup mix until fully dissolved. Add in the cooked elbow macaroni and browned ground beef. Mix well.
4.	Spread the ground beef mixture evenly in a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes on top.
5.	Sprinkle the top with paprika.
6.	Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
